Examples
Ignoring pointer events
Use the pointer-events-none utility to make an element ignore pointer events, like :hover and click events:
Click the search icons to see the expected behavior
pointer-events-auto
pointer-events-none
<div class="relative ..."> <div class="pointer-events-auto absolute ..."> <svg class="absolute h-5 w-5 text-gray-400"> <!-- ... --> </svg> </div> <input type="text" placeholder="Search" class="..." /></div><div class="relative ..."> <div class="pointer-events-none absolute ..."> <svg class="absolute h-5 w-5 text-gray-400"> <!-- ... --> </svg> </div> <input type="text" placeholder="Search" class="..." /></div>The pointer events will still trigger on child elements and pass-through to elements that are "beneath" the target.
Restoring pointer events
Use the pointer-events-auto utility to revert to the default browser behavior for pointer events:
<div class="pointer-events-none md:pointer-events-auto ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
